A new virtual photo exhibition explores the plight and resilience of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in the world’s largest refugee camp through the lens of Rohingya photographers.

Almost a million Rohingya Muslim refugees live in the Cox’s Bazar area of southeast Bangladesh after fleeing their homeland, where they have been persecuted by the government for decades.

More than half of them are under children, according to the UNHCR.

Their future remains uncertain following the most recent and largest exodus in 2017, when Myanmar security forces were accused of driving Rohingya out of the Rakhine state with a large-scale campaign of killings, mass rape and arson.

The military denies the allegations, which the US government has declared a genocide.

The exhibition, which launched in June on World Refugee Day, gives young Rohingya photographers an opportunity to express themselves around themes such as memory, loss, love and hope.

Founder of Rohingyatographer magazine and one of the curators of the exhibition Sahat Zia Hero said the exhibition was aimed at making the world aware of his people’s situation.

“We want people to see us as human beings, just like everyone else and to share our hopes and dreams, our sadness and our grief with others, to make connections,” Sahat Zia said.

“With this exhibition, we want the world to see the Rohingya refugee community through our own eyes,” he said.
